My acquaintance is 37 minutes late to emailing me?

Am I overreacting when I feel like shes rejected me? Or has she?

I'm not always in a position to reply to emails right away; perhaps this is their case also.

Perhaps something other that her relationship to you is delaying her.

Do you know for sure that she has read your initial email? Could it be she has some technical difficulty in replying, like being out of range or having a battery issue? Maybe she dropped her phone in a puddle, or there's a power failure in her building! Perhaps she needs time to come up with a reply - is she at work, or does she have other duties? In any event, I would not automatically take a 37(+ now) delay as a rejection.

I sometimes don't read or answer my emails for days! And I still like the people I correspond with..and they have come to understand my tardiness is not a reflection on them...

Give it more time.

People often don't answer emails right away.

Don't write her again until she writes you.

You are overreacting. Even after reading an email, it may be hours to the next day until I reply.

I think you're overreacting.

What do mean by "they're 37 minutes late e-mailing [you]" ?

Like, did they say "I'm going on a blind date with some guy who I'll meet off the internet.
I'll get back at 9pm tonight and e-mail you right away to let you know that I haven't been roofied or cut into small pieces.

Or like, did they say "hey so I'm definitely certainly I promise going to e-mail you at 5.23 this evening".... then time ticked by and they hadn't sent a message by 5.50 pm ?

Maybe their internet conked out.
That's pretty common.

If you want an instant answer make a phone call. E-mails and even text messages are not something people answer right away. Do you sit in front of your computer 24/7 and answer every single e-mail right after it come to you? You never missed a SMS just because you were in another room when it come so you didn't hear the signal of your mobile phone?

LOL...in the OP's case, I wouldn't make phone calls. That would nix the relationship before it gets off the ground.

I replied to your message at 8.48am yesterday morning, and now it's 10.48am the next day.

This means that it's so far taken you 840 minutes to reply .... 840 ! !!

I'm dismayed ! !!
I thought this could develop into something special, but now... with you rejecting me before things even got off the ground... I just don't even know how this can be salvaged.

So, it's now 11.34am... and I am still waiting for your reply.

Another 46 ! !! minutes have now passed since I last wrote to you, and the rejection I feel is enormous.

It's like you are pushing a knife deep into the psychological wounds which your previous rejection of myself have opened ; like a chasm cut deep into the depths of the earth's core.

I denote a bit of irony here.
